Explanation / Answer

Solution -1

Let variable cost per unit = X, Total Fixed Cost = F

Total cost of June = $75,000, Production Volume = 13000 units

Total Cost of December = $50,000, Production Volume = 8000 units

13000X + F = 75000

8000X + F = 50000

On solving both equations:

X= $5 per unit

F = $10,000

Hence variable cost per unit is $5

Solution -2

Price per unit = $40

Variable cost per unit = $12

Contribution per unit = $40 - $12 = $28 per unit

Solution -3

Direct labor cost = $840

Direct Material Cost = $1,100

Overhead Cost = 90*7 = $630

Total Cost for Job 12 = $840 + $1,100 + $630 = $2,570
